E-Commerce Security Identify a local company that conducts e-commerce, preferably one with whom you have previously done business or are otherwise familiar. Research the company and become knowledgeable in its basic operations and services. Contact the company and inform it of your interest as a student, in learning more about its business. Inquire as to how the company guarantees the security of its site and consumers' personal information. Ask the company whether it has a formal code of conduct and, if so, whether it is available to be examined.
In essay format, describe your conversation with the company's representative, explain the security measures the company uses, and comment on the company's code of conduct. Conclude your essay by stating whether and why you would be comfortable engaging in online transactions with this company.
